A New Approach to Astrology

The Zodiac and Sensuality

Disclaimer: with astrology, it is possible to decipher our behaviour or to get a glimpse of the future. This is a theory which cannot be systematically tested. On the other hand, one may wish to follow an easier path, which puts into practice the principles listed in astrology textbooks. In a way, this is precisely the type of practical exercises that we suggest in this Lifestyle column.

We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond entertainment, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

Sensuality for Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

With you, people know very quickly where they stand. If they like you, there is little chance that they conceal it. Advice and common sense are not your forte, especially when you become passionate, which is actually your main mode of functioning in romantic affairs. To begin with, you immediately fall in love, and you find yourself nailed to the spot. Indeed, your conquering spirit spurs you to overdo things until your interlocutor surrenders. Oh yes, love may be a sort of competition for you, and the more beautiful the trophy, the more creative your strategy. Then, nothing matters any more, and you are able to move mountains in order to get what you want. Moreover, owing to Mars, ruler of your Sun sign, your energy is tinged with sensuality. Therefore, how could anyone resist your legendary ardour? You manage to chain up your partner by persuading him that no one suits him better than you. But it is well known that you loathe routine. You are not too tolerant when the first sparks of enthusiasm give way to day-to-day dullness. Unless you learn to rekindle the fire.

Taurus, Taurus rising, Venus dominant, or strong 2nd House

Sensuality for Taurus, Taurus rising, Venus dominant, or strong 2nd House

It is very simple. You have the reputation of being the most sensual sign of the zodiac. Firstly, because you are an Earth and spring sign which needs to explore all the facets of love relationships. But they cannot and must not remain platonic. Then, since your sign is ruled by Venus, you are very sensitive to the human body's beauty, which must be as natural as possible. On the other hand, you enjoy taking your time. Preparations as such are already a delight, quite like in ancient times. You like to take baths, to put perfumes on, to have your hair done, and to wear silky fabrics which encourage caresses. In winter, a crackling fire in the fireplace arouses strong emotions. In summer, it is the warmth of the sunrays which puts you in a nonchalant mood. You are always willing to share rituals with your partner. You are a pleasure seeker, and you use your five senses with relish.

Gemini, Gemini rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 3rd House

Sensuality for Gemini, Gemini rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 3rd House

A champion of flirtation, you are sometimes less comfortable when you must tackle serious matters. In any case, your interlocutor must meet a prerequisite: he must constantly communicate with you. Therefore, you never stop talking, bombarding your partner with questions on his preferences, and never hesitating to joke or to adopt fanciful positions. In a word, your eroticism is playful! Bear in mind that this is appreciated by those who have a humorous mind like yours, but not so much by shy or passionate people. You need to strike a balance between sharing and independence because, deep down, you feel a bit scared. In such moments, it is as if you were still an adolescent. You explore new territories with enthusiasm and spontaneity. Your butterfly grace does the rest. Owing to your typical penchant for comedy, you can excel in several genres or roles. What is certain is that one never gets bored in your company.

Cancer, Cancer rising, the Moon dominant, or strong 4th House

Sensuality for Cancer, Cancer rising, the Moon dominant, or strong 4th House

Shy? You? Perhaps. Regardless of your gender, you cannot open up unless you feel reassured. It may be because you sometimes have complexes but also because you are nostalgic for the days when you were in your mother's womb. You are romantic first and foremost, yearning for a total symbiosis with your love partner. You need tokens of fidelity, and your thirst for affection seems unquenchable. Therefore, by all means, you must avoid people who take relationships lightly, except in certain stages of your life, quite rare, when the wandering side of your sign prevails. Most of the time, you cherish your habits. You also pay high attention to rituals when it comes to sensuality. Indoor outfits, refined lingerie, and particularly one-to-one little dinners are the perfect ingredients for starting the evening. Of course, you never forget the preliminary stages!

Leo, Leo rising, the Sun dominant, or strong 5th House

Sensuality for Leo, Leo rising, the Sun dominant, or strong 5th House

Like the animal representing your sign, you have only one flaw. You love yourself so much that you need to be courted by your interlocutor. Although no one can guess, you let people choose you, whether you are a male or a female. Your job is to show yourself to advantage, with your gorgeous mane and smile, so as to arouse passion. Once you are sure that your worth is acknowledged, you turn into a most ardent partner. You are a Fire sign, after all! You even make it a point of honour to erase from your lover's memory his previous relationships. You take great care of the setting. Classic, you prefer a sumptuous venue such as a private mansion where you can open up. Ideally, you celebrate these pleasures with Champagne wine and between silk sheets. Camping is definitely not your cup of tea, no thank you. The moment to resume your ordinary routine will come soon enough!

Virgo, Virgo rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 6th House

Sensuality for Virgo, Virgo rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 6th House

Some people may be surprised to learn that you hide your real nature beneath your perfectly spruce appearance. On the one hand, you are usually modest, even slightly buttoned-up according to the overall opinions. Indeed, you would hate to be taken for a depraved person. Furthermore, your intellectual facet is far from insignificant. You do not get excited straight off. However, although you are determined to keep the situation under your control, you remain an Earth sign, therefore, pragmatic and driven by sensuality. This is precisely why some Virgos are said to be “mad virgins”. Once the straitjacket is thrown off, you may be carried away by all sorts of impulses. This does not prevent you from enjoying physical prowess since, without a word, you have carefully prepared yourself. Like in various other areas, you can come across as a great specialist because your technique is extremely detail-oriented. If you could learn to let go, your behaviour would be faultless.

Libra, Libra rising, Venus dominant, or strong 7th House

Sensuality for Libra, Libra rising, Venus dominant, or strong 7th House

It is doubtless that in the 17th century, the Map of Tendre was devised for you. Indeed, right from the beginning of a relationship, you imagine all the stages marking out the love itinerary. Without saying anything, you add to it and turn into the main personage, preparing your encounters with perfect care. To reach the Nirvana, you do not find it old-fashioned to exchange sweet messages, to see to your partner's every need, or to stop over at the village of Zeal. With Venus as the ruler of your sign, one might as well say that love is the major concern of your life. On the upside, you know instinctively how to behave with the utmost refinement. But you ought to find a person who lives up to your standards, otherwise you may drape yourself in a Saturnian melancholy and become a block of ice. In a scenario in which all goes well, you are probably among the most generous signs of the zodiac, a quality which is highly meaningful in this regard.

Scorpio, Scorpio rising, Pluto dominant, or strong 8th House

Sensuality for Scorpio, Scorpio rising, Pluto dominant, or strong 8th House

It's been such a long time that by now, you are certainly informed. If sex pertains to a divinity, no one deserves such an honour more than you. It is true that in this area also your curiosity is overflowing. Nothing frightens you, and you probably smiled when you saw the success of Fifty shades of Grey. A tale for priggish maidens, in your opinion! You are determined, and you find no experience hazardous. You even need to go very far in order to feel shared passion. It is a little bit for better and for worse, like Carmen or the devilish heroes of the French novel The dangerous liaisons who risk everything just to test their mate, and who are not necessarily up to the mark. Think it over. When you are in love, your partner is fulfilled. You make every effort to catch him in the meshes of your net, and you cleverly weave your web. But sometimes, since you are quite touchy, if you do not feel in the mood, you become worse than a nun or a monk. It is all or nothing.

Sagittarius, Sagittarius rising, Jupiter dominant, or strong 9th House

Sensuality for Sagittarius, Sagittarius rising, Jupiter dominant, or strong 9th House

People are unlikely to say that you behave brutally like a hussar, because it would be too cavalier! With you, puns are easy, and you never hesitate to use them, including in the area of seduction. Indeed, to you, love is cheerful, catching, exciting, or it has no reason to exist. Since your nature is to be rather in a hurry, you are not the type to linger on your way. A glance is all it takes you to understand whether or not the chemistry can work. If the answer is positive, given the fire burning in you, you spare no effort to conquer the object of your desire. Regardless of your gender, it is your instinctive behaviour. Luckily, you know how to fan the flames of passion to nurture it! As to sensuality, you keep your promises. Your ardour, your boldness, and your curiosity do the rest. Since you run the risk of being the first one who tires, your partner must be up to the mark.

Capricorn, Capricorn rising, Saturn dominant, or strong 10th House

Sensuality for Capricorn, Capricorn rising, Saturn dominant, or strong 10th House

You are not what is called an ardent temperament. At first, your austerity may be disheartening. Moreover, you take quite a lot of time to open up, because you consider that everything is synonymous with commitment. The seriousness with which you tackle your daily tasks may translate into a kind of affective naivety which prompts you to aim at the absolute. However, since you are influenced by the Earth element, you are not detached from sensual pleasures. On the contrary! Once you get started, you are an excellent partner. You take your time, you pamper your lover, and like in other areas, you spend all the fervour you are capable of. Of course, you prefer the most classic forms of love, for it is impossible to change one's true nature. Your perfectionism can make the difference, and once you have conquered your interlocutor, you manage to be unforgettable, because time is the only thing you value.

Aquarius, Aquarius rising, Uranus dominant, or strong 11th House

Sensuality for Aquarius, Aquarius rising, Uranus dominant, or strong 11th House

You are fond of unusual experiences, and you are willing to behave differently from people. You need to be astonished, and you want to be led to sensual pleasures almost without being aware of it. It must be underlined that your ethereal nature enables you to remain chaste during extended periods of time without suffering from them. However, when you are determined and entranced, you manage to use your creativity to bring about stunning and perhaps unforgettable moments for your partner. Thanks to your cheerfulness and to some degree of frivolity, you can indulge in all your fantasies. Besides, nothing shocks you. You dread routine more than new ideas, to which you always feel you can say no. You find that it is much more important to go through unique and different discoveries while constantly bearing in mind the respect for people as well as for yourself. It is under this condition that you can maintain your interest in this bizarre thing that sensuality is...

Pisces, Pisces rising, Neptune dominant, or strong 12th House

Sensuality for Pisces, Pisces rising, Neptune dominant, or strong 12th House

You are supposed to be the embodiment of romanticism, but you are also incredible with regard to sensuality. You are above all a tactile person, and you may have difficulty in expressing your feelings verbally. However, if your interlocutor understands this, he will also dive into your infinite symbiotic realm. This is how you understand relationships. When you are in love, you lose all sense of reality and time. You depart for a world of dreams, caresses, and sharing which claims to be absolute. In some cases, you may scare a partner who is less involved than you. Borders are a concept that you do not know and that you can hardly bear. If you are in a process of total dedication, your generosity is brimming over. You literally pamper your partner, you anticipate his desires, and you bewitch him. Let's use an image. Love is for you a huge ocean, and you let yourself be carried away – together with your sweetheart – by the wave of bliss!
